Benedetta Rossi explains how to correct a dish that is too salty. You spent hours and hours in the kitchen, you worked hard, weighing all the ingredients carefully, cooking them as best as possible, turning them over and over again. Once you reach the moment of tasting you realize the mistake that can ruin the entire dish: it’s there too much salt. We know that too little is better than too much, because seasoning can always be added, even raw. And instead a savory dish becomes inedible. But if you realize it in time, there is always a solution, as the famous cook we have been following for some time explains to us.

First of all we need to understand if the error lies in the addition of salt or in the choice of ingredients. If you have used foods that are too savory all together, the problem could arise from them. Otherwise, a first solution could be precisely that of increase the quantity of each ingredient. The salt will also season the new additions, distributing on a larger scale. Your dish will thus regain the desired flavour. If, however, you are preparing a soup or soup, you can even simply add some water.

And if this isn’t enough, use a ladle to take the contents of the pot with a little broth, transfer it to another pot and pour someunsalted water. Finish cooking in this way and don’t worry about the final result anymore: it will be delicious. The element that saves savory dishes par excellence is instead potato. You can use it both if you prepare a sauce or in a soup. Peel it, cut it into slices or chunks and dip it in the seasoning. In this way will absorb excess salt. You can leave it on the plate or take it out as soon as it changes color.

What if you don’t have the potato? Don’t worry, another food that absorbs salt is stale bread. All you need to do is insert a piece of it into the sauce you are preparing and wait for it to do its job. Let’s continue with the tricks of Benedetta Rossi. Think of the opposite of salt. But yes, it’s always, it’s really the sugar. If the dish is too salty you can try to balance it with a cube of sugar. Place it on a teaspoon and immerse it in the preparation for a few seconds, then take it out. Another food that can save your plate is cooking creamwhich added to the preparation will dampen the flavor of the salt with its sweetness.

If you are cooking a second course of meat or fish, Benedetta Rossi advises you to try to mitigate the excessive flavor by adding lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, which does not cover the flavor of the dish. The cook’s last secret, in the case of second courses, is to add a nice slice of green apple. This fruit also has the ability to absorb part of the salt. Your dishes are safe and no one will notice the correction.

Introduction

To have perfect abs, physical exercise is not enough but you need to bring the right foods to the table and learn to combine them. The ABS method uses a standard formula based on a list of 10 foods that help sculpt the abdomen. Being on a diet doesn’t just mean counting the calories and kg that you have to lose in a given period of time, with ABS method you learn to eat. The strong point of the food program is that it is healthy, furthermore the recipes can be prepared in a few minutes and shopping at the supermarket will not affect your wallet. Furthermore, you eat six times a day to eliminate the feeling of hunger and always keep the body moving which, in this way, burns more fat. The three main meals are alternated with snacks (which follow or precede by two hours) and it is important to include at least 2 of the super foods on the list of powerfoods. Once a week you can have a free meal but remember that every day you have to train for 30 minutes otherwise the ABS method will not lead to the expected results.

Powerfoods: what are they?

Before listing the 10 super foods of the ABS method and their nutritional properties we give you some suggestions. To flavor, use a maximum of 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, reduce the amount of salt and prefer spices and aromas for which there are no limits. It is absolutely forbidden to consume carbonated drinks and others that contain fructose syrup and simple sugars; the sweeteners allowed (in moderation) are stevia and sodium cyclamate.

  2. Berries and berries: blueberries, currants and raspberries are excellent undergrowth products that contain antioxidants, substances well known for their anti-aging and anti-tumor effects, we point out the presence of phytosterols useful for counteracting hypercholesterolemia;

  5. Egg: when we talk about eggs, few people mention them for their choline, a chemical compound which, combined with other substances, intervenes on fat metabolism and improves the functioning of the nervous system. Eggs are a natural source of vitamin D and group B and contain all 9 essential amino acids;
  6. Lean meats: few of us know that in this type of meat there are noble proteins and branched chain amino acids, the most important being tyrosine. Furthermore, the less intense color does not concern the amount of iron present inside it, this is in fact given by myoglobin, a protein that transports oxygen;
  7. Legumes: beans first and foremost (and then all the others) provide the right dose of fiber necessary to regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels, they are a source of vegetable proteins and carbohydrates and contain minerals and polyunsaturated fats, vitamin group B and PP, folic acid and biotin;
  8. Wholemeal products and cereals: they are preferably consumed whole or split, ground or in flakes. To be wholemeal, products of this type must have at least 51% of the main components of the grain which are endosperm, germ and bran;
  9. Peanut butter: if prepared according to the original recipe it is a complete and genuine food, it contains proteins, oleic acid and vitamins E and B3, the product must be organic and of high quality without added additives even if the advice is to consume it in moderation;
  10. Dairy products and cheeses: always appreciated for their calcium content, don’t overdo it because they are rich in fat and sodium, essentially they are a source of proteins and vitamins which are very good for our body.

The food plan it includes, as previously mentioned, six meals which also include snacks. All excesses must be balanced, let’s discover together what the daily menus and recipes are. As for the three snacks, you can choose between dried fruit and herbal or fennel herbal teas, in some cases you can treat yourself to a glass of milk enriched with bitter cocoa and, especially in the early afternoon, also bresaola and turkey. For breakfast, instead, prefer green tea or coffee with wholemeal bread and jam or peanut butter; lunch and dinner are the most important meals, the only rule is to choose at least 2 foods from those on the list we have proposed.

On the first day for example, for lunch you can eat pan-fried fish with cherry tomatoes and black olives, while for dinner the brown rice accompanied with beef hamburger. Among the green leafy vegetables there are black cabbage, chard and chicory, but since this is the season of broccoli and cauliflower, don’t miss them from your fridge and cook them using lemon and spices to season them.

Make it more delicious with sesame seeds and almonds of your choice. Finally, legumes and cereals can be combined together, for example we recommend spelled with beans which reduces hunger and is also very nutritious.
